I could understand why he was upset if he thought he was getting jobbed but a changed spot but in the end, the officials got the right spot.

That's exactly what I think happened. The spot was changed (rightfully so) and Tressel nearly flew off the handle when it did. My guess is that the LJ wasn't perpindicular to the play because it was coming right at him and he didn't want to get clobbered. He was probably given help by the HL or U on the spot. Again, great spot.
I wasn't worried about Tressel being flagged for being on the field, but rather what words might come out of his mouth.
